The third one (Engström/Bergström) makes me really curious. I've seen that website before. I don't think I've heard anything about that musical apart from that website and yet it seems to be such a big production. I texted Per Engström a few months ago to ask him about it because according to the website he is in it, but he didn't reply.

I agree! I first found it cause Christine E. wrote she had auditioned for it, and I was surprised to see how big a production/musical it seemed to be. And of course, the name of the composer got me curious...

That's where I read it, but going back now I can't find it... I think it was because she is a friend/fan of the Dracula musical, an it came up as a link that she had auditioned or was attending the audition. Hmmm, probably easier to ask her than to dig it up...

There are a couple others as well (that have Phantom ties, to boot)... Dracula: The Covenant was written and composed by Phantom alums Dodie Pettit and Kevin Gray. A couple of tracks are included on Kevin's solo album "It's My Time to Shine," and I thought they sounded quite awesome! I'm quite curious about what the rest of the music is like.

There's another one called Dracula: A Chamber Musical, which was apparently recorded on-stage at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 1999 and released on DVD. The book and lyrics are by Richard Ouzounian, and the music is by Marek Norman. A recent Massachusetts production had former ALW Phantom Ron Bohmer as Dracula, and original Y/K Christine Glory Crampton as Mina. I have no idea what the music is like, but it sounds intriguing... I should look for clips (or that full DVD) sometime soon.

I really like some of Wildhorn´s music: Mist, Life after life, Please don´t make me love you, Finale. I also really enjoy Orton/Evans/Lynn´s (?) Within my world and She-devil Nosferatu. I heard them in YT, so...I also own Nancy Kilpatrick´s novelization from yet another musical called Dracul. Story was typical Dracula-is-Vlad-the-pervert-hero-Mina-is-feminist-and-Lucy-is-the-slut-nonsense but it was gorgeously written and featured some really atmospheric set-pieces.

Hey all! Not sure if this fits in with Dracula musicals but I didn't want to risk starting a new thread if it belonged here. I just wanted to share with everyone that there is a poster that starred Michael Crawford from this musical on Ebay:

Hi! This is kinda funny, but the biggest musical in Argentina (the longest-running show here, THE musical who made the genre popular) is Drácula. The creators of the show are so popular here (Cibrian-Mahler), that many think that they wrote Phantom too (ALW who?)

Whenever there's is a revival (once every five years aprox), everyone is super hyped.

I actually never got to see it due to my big prejudice about it, because there are a few things "inspired" (well, it's a rip-off) from Phantom and Les Mis. It's just a couple of scenes and gadgets (for instance, the mirror and the pub scene), but it was enough for me to say [i]no. If we got to be honest, you cannot build a huge success on a rip-off (actually, those are the only similarities), but I know I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
